Yaphet, the new album from @Curly_Castro and produced by @and_Locust is out now on Backwoodz Studioz. After a few years of focusing on his work with ShrapKnel, Castro has blessed us with a solo project and it’s well worth the wait. Yaphet finds the veteran MC in rare form throughout this blaxploitation roller derby of an album, and is joined by a who’s who of indie-rappers right out the gate. Literally. Castro delivered Yaphet way ahead of schedule, so this album has really been burning a hole in our speakers for a minute, and we are thrilled to be finally be able to share this with the world. Vinyl, CD, and cassette are all shipping now, and we also have a video premiere today for "Railroad Spikes", check everything out: mailchi.mp/backwoodzstudioz/…
